Regex to match string ending with string or nothing

Question

I want to match strings ending with javascript encoded characters (%20, %u200E, etc) or end of line. I've got this regex: `(/\w*?)*(?=(%\w{2,}|[\s/]))` which matches `/text` part in these: /text /text /text%20 /text%u200E But doesn't matches anything in this: `/text` (no character at end, not even new line)

Accepted Answer

Change your regex to:

```
/(?:/\w*)*(?=(?:%\w{2,})|[\s/]|$)/;
```

Since you don't have newline `
` at the end of your inputs. Just end of input anchor `$` will do the job.
